π― In The Darkness π―
I donβt need you to light up my world.
Just sit with me in the dark.
This is so appropriate now that we have 10 hours without power, (electricity), a day in South Africa. And I think it is just going to get worse in the week to come! Sitting in the dark has now become the βnew normalβ here π π!
I'm sorry for being so quiet this weekend. We had family visiting and I was kept very busy with chatting, drinking and preparing food. I hope you all had a great weekend and rested well...ready for the week ahead.

Kindness is one thing you can't give away.
It always comes back.

So the last few days Iβve posted some of my oldest photos and some of the newest! ππ π
Random question...do you mind if I place the "censored" photos first?
π½ My first Video π½
I have to apologize but today's photos did once again not get posted by OnlyFans. To apologize, I will post my video only here. It is bad. It was VHS video! But see how "snobbish" I was then! π ππ€£
π§ Throwback Thursday π§
Now this is going back many years. 30 years to be exact. This was my very, very, very first topless photoshoot. We were just married, we have just moved into our first house and my new husband wanted to take photos of me...it started then already ππ
There was a problem however. There were no digital cameras in those days. Only film...Iβm old, I know π. And we were both too shy to have them developed! People will see! So what to do, what to do... We bought a video camera and took video of me. Then my husband digitised the video.
But the problem was that the quality of the video and photos were just so bad! It was 1993 and technology was almost non existed. Colour TV was a new thing for us π ! We spend a lot of money, tried it once, and gave up π²!! We had to wait 10 years for technology to give us the first digital camera. Only then did we try again!
And we still have the original video digitized. I watched it again this morning and nearly fell of my chair laughing! If you think I felt awkward yesterday with the lingerie shoot, you should watch the video. I didnβt smile once! I looked like a wooden doll! It is so hilarious to watch after all these yearsπ€£π€£π€£!
Have a great day everyone

π· Lingerie Photoshoot π·
Today I did my first βLingerie shootβ. It did not go well. I felt like a hippo out of the water... π¦
clumsy
ungainly
graceless
blundering
lumbering
self-conscious
cringe-worthy
Think I must stick to "nature photoshoots" π
As soon as I can get some editing done, I will post a set. But you have to promise not to laugh out loud! π€£π€£π€£
Good night everyone π
π§ Listen to the Water π§
And I'm wet again! π€£π€£π€£ This is me in an amazing water pools. We arrived late in the afternoon, and being the only people there, we decided to have fun in the pool.
This set covers me from a lot of angles! The water was so nice!
ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€
Listen silently to the water,
it is not just water,
but the voice of life,
the voice of Being,
the voice of perpetual Becoming.
- (adapted from Hermann Hesse)
Have a great Wet-ness-day everyone! πππ
At the End of the Day...
We must bring our own light to the darkness.

Have a great evening everyone.

In a dark forest,
under the dark trees,
be not afraid of my darkness,
you will find banks full of roses under my trees.
Have a great day everyone.

This was a nice summer's day next to the Apies river. This was one of our favorite picnic places. But, we haven't been in a while due to criminal activity!

π At the End of the Dayπ
...there is nothing sexier than the strength it takes to turn...
Hurt into healing.
Grief into courage.
Storms into calm.
Have a great evening everyone.

π Sunny Day π
For every day that there is sunshine, there will be days of rain, itβs how we dance within them both that shows our love and pain.

I hope everyone are enjoying the day!
π A Different Color Monday π
Blue Monday
I refuse to bow to you whims today
Today will be my day...
A day of laughter π
A day of smiles π
A day of loving π
Today I will paint Monday red!!!

An early winterβs morning just outside the town of Wakkerstroom. From here you could look down at the little down. We camped here at the old railway station. The old station building is now a pub with a few camping spots.
The station is about 3 kilometers out of town. It was constructed in 1910. The rails are not in use, it became a victim of the general decline of rail transport in South Africa. The station has been preserved as a restaurant and camping ground.
Now, why is the station so far out of town. When the first railway line was constructed from Durban to Johannesburg in 1895, the people of Wakkerstroom sent a petition saying that they don't want the line to come through Wakkerstroom. Reasons given was that "it would dirty their daughters, cause the chickens to stop laying and the cattle to have deformed off-springs".
Later they regretted the decision and re-approached the railways, the somewhat laconic reply was that as the tunnels had already been built it would actually be cheaper to relocate Wakkerstroom than change the line.
When the branch line running from Volksrust through Amersfoort to Bethal was conceived, again the burghers signed a petition that they don't want a station in town. (They never learn, do they?) The railway, most likely, with minimum hesitation, decided to reroute the line so that it would not have to cross the wetland twice. Taking it around the wetland, not having to put up two bridges and long embankments, was much cheaper. I always wondered about this, now I know!
Have a great day and a great week everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend. I'm sure you all are rested and ready for the week.
Just playing around with videos again. With this one I've added some appropriate, (and sometimes inappropriate π π), sounds to the photos. I hope you like it.
Have a great night everyone!

π²π³π² In the Forest π³π²π³
By the sacred grove, where the waters flow
We will come and go, in the forest
In the summer rain, we will m33t again
We will learn the code of the ancient ones
In the forest
By the waterfall, I will hold you in my arms
We will m33t again by the leafy glade
In the shade of the forest
With your long robes on, oh we will surely roam
By the ancient roads, I will take you home
To the forest
Satisfy the soul, baby
Birds sing all day long of the mother lode
We can let it roll in the forest

π§ Empty Dam π§
Placed on a plateau
Overlooking a dam
Water being held in check,
But for how long?
A slight leak begins
And widens in time,
Soon the dam
Begins to go down.
A loud explosion-
All the water rushes forth.
Soon the dam is empty
Not a drop left behind.
- George J. CarrollΒ
π Late Afternoon π
Late afternoon sun
Casting long shadows
Offering warm moods
Shades of yellow melting down red
Caressing the skin
Those rays
Of afternoon healing
Bringing the day to an end
The sun setting
The night is getting so close
Emotions are flowing
The landscape is glowing
It's burning bright
What a heavenly sight!
(Unknown)
π΅ Biker Angel π
Biker angel be my guide
As I climb upon my scoot to ride
Let your halo light the way
And keep me safe from harm today
Let your wings provide me wind and air
And send it coursing through my hair
Find me a peaceful sunny place
And let it shine upon my face

In The Ashes of a Cold Fireplace
- Jack Davies
I keep your memory
In the ashes of a cold fireplace,
Next to which, I sit;
On the cool cabin floor;
Dreaming of spring shine.
So here, I sit dreaming,
Of spring shine from the east,
Of a roaring fire inside my skin;
As the memory of this fireplace,
Melts into a ch1ld's laughter.
Have a great day everyone.

A road into a forest
With a turn and a twist

We used this wig for a few photoshoots. It was to try something new, but it didn't work well. Oh well! I don't know if we will try again...but who knows?

If you have good thoughts they will shine and light up your hair in a golden glow and you will always look lovely.
Have a great evening everyone.
Rest well and wake refreshed.

π In the Morning Sun π
I love the early morning sun on my skin, especially on a cool and clear day. This was driving in our favourite natures reserve. It was a fairly big reserve with lot of driving space. On the last photo you can see where the road goes. A behind the scenes shot π ! This was taken right next to the road not far from the camp site. I really would love to go back, but theyβve become so expensive! Maybe one day we will go again!
May sunshine surround you each new day.
And may smiles and love never be far away.
- Catherine Pulsifer.
I hope the sun will shine bight and warm on all of you today.
Have a great day everyone.

π³ Old Trees π΄
I love trees. I love even dead trees. Dead trees still standing is for me like natureβs sculptures! Each tree has a story of its own. They represents many years of living through everything nature could throw at them!
We passed this lonely stump on our way to a nature reserve a few years back. Not much to tell here, except it made for a nice prop to use. The story of the day happened later. We saw a nice ruin right next to the road. We used it for a while and the a car drove up! It was a Minister from a nearby church π²! He saw me posing at the ruin! The ruin belonged to the church, or was on church grounds! I canβt really remember. He was very upset with us π ! We explained what we do and why we do it. He asked us not to post any of the photos in case anyone recognise the ruin. So far we havenβt posted any of the photos taken there...and it was quite nice photos π !
Have an awesome day everyone!!

Hello, Monday.
May I ask you a question?
Why are you always back so quickly?
Donβt you have a hobby?
Please go get a hobby!!
πππ
Have a great Monday and a great week everyone!
This was late in the afternoon next to the pool at a nature reserve. I love the low sun shining through the leaves!

π΅ Wind In My Hair - Mandy Moore π΅
'Cause I got the wind in my hair and a dream in my eyes and an endless horizon
I got a smile on my face and I'm walking on air
Everything life ought to be
It's all gonna happen to me out there
And I'll find it, I swear
With the wind in my hair
π Red Wood π³
The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. It's not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time.
John Steinbeck
